Epower to challenge societal
norms. It not only helps her
break through conventional barriers but
also guides her to become the leader
she deserves to be. Here's why
education is crucial:
Empowerment through knowledge:
Education equips women with the
knowledge, skills, and confidence to
challenge these limitations and claim
their rightful place in society. This
empowerment becomes the foundation
for breaking down traditional barriers
and achieving true equality.
Shattering Stereotypes and Breaking
Through Glass Ceilings~
Conventional expectations: Societal
norms often confine women to specific
roles, hindering their full potential.
Education allows them to transcend
these expectations and pursue diverse
career paths previously considered out
of reach.
Breaking barriers: As women gain
access to education, they begin to
occupy leadership positions across
various fields, shattering the glass
ceiling that has traditionally limited
their advancement. This not only
benefits individual women but also
paves the way for future generations to
break free from outdated limitations.
Leadership Development~
Skills and knowledge: Education
equips women with the critical
thinking, communication, and
problem-solving skills essential for
effective leadership. It also provides
them with the knowledge and
understanding needed to navigate
complex situations and make informed
decisions.

institutions. Her expertise extends to
data-driven decision-making, fostering
teacher growth and development, and
ensuring student success, all while
promoting a safe, inclusive, and
innovative learning environment.
Deciding for Self
Saba's voyage in the realm of the noble
teaching profession started in Pakistan
and within a few years, she carved a
niche for herself to lead one of the
private school systems. She became a
renowned leader with her work.
However, a major shift occurred in her
journey when she went to the London
scholarship program to pursue a degree
in educational leadership and started
her life again with no financial backup.
Being a mother of a small child of 5
years, it was a herculean task for her to
manage her studies, but she did it with
perseverance.
Confidence and self-belief: The
process of acquiring knowledge and
achieving academic success fosters
confidence and self-belief in women.
They learn to advocate for themselves
and their ideas, becoming empowered
to lead and inspire others.
A mighty example of the power of
education, Saba Imtiaz, the CEO and
Founder of Empower Group & Co
Ltd in the United Kingdom, is more
than just a leader; she is a shaping
force in the field of education.

and impactful actions, Saba has

business Empower Group. This small
business was started with the aim of
providing qualifications and CPD in
the UK however within 6 years the
business has expanded to countries
such as Pakistan and UAE.
Being an inspirational leader for
others, Saba's own inspiration for her
leadership journey in the educational
sector stems from personal experience
and life events that happened in her
life. Reflecting on her journey, she
feels very proud, "As I come from a
middle-class background where there
was less emphasis on girls' education
and more on boys."
Yet, Saba always has had the desire to
improve herself. Her leadership
journey started when she started
making decisions for her own life. Her
professional life has spanned three
different countries: Pakistan, the UK,
and the UAE. The clarity of her vision,
self-motivation and development of
leadership skills have made her who
she is now. Saba adds, "I feel blessed
that I am in a profession where I can
see growth and success of those I lead
and knowing that I have played a key
role in their development."

Saba clearly sketches Empower
Group's mission and vision. "Our
vision revolves around fostering
independence, confidence, and self-

communities," she says. Their mission
is 'To empower individuals by

top-most private education industry in
UAE, Saba demonstrated her
resilience, empathetic leadership, and a
strong commitment to variety of
stakeholders. Working closely with
parents and students, she helped them
to identify their unique needs,
establishing a real structured
framework for inspections and
witnessing the impact on students. She
has received 'Excellence Awards for
Education' in the UAE as the work
here is very rewarding. "The
educational reforms in UAE are
beyond expected, and the success and
history that we are making fostered a
sense of community satisfaction and
commitment."
According to Saba, technology plays a
crucial role in shaping the future of
education. "It is used for personalized
learning." Students can experience
self-directed and unique development.
Adaptive assessment methods that
track and analyse students' progress
provide valuable educational insights
to tailor their instructions.

Challenges are how a mighty leader
distinguishes herself from the rest.
Saba's story is no different. Her biggest
challenge, according to her, came from
people who were resistant to change,
new initiatives, or processes.
Addressing conflicts and
disagreements with teams
constructively and fairly made all the
difference. Saba started on her own,
with much self-reflection and found
ways to navigate towards the positive
side. She always made tough decisions,
worked under pressure, met tight
deadlines, and worked with people of
diverse needs and abilities, which has
always strengthened her to improve
further.

qualities make a leader effective in the
field of education.

inspire and communicate a compelling
vision for the future of educational
institutions or organizations.

of students, teachers, staff and parents

environment.

educational mission and vision.

acknowledging and validating users'
questions and providing
encouragement.
When asked what changes she
envisions for the educational sector in
the coming years and how she prepares
her institution, Saba says that the first
and most important action is
personalized learning and the use of
scaffolded instructions to cater for
learners' needs. This includes an
adaptive learning platform and
customized learning pathways.

but transforms our future. Thus,

skill development is important in the
21st century. "We can promote this
through activities and resources on
critical thinking and problem-solving.

information and insight across various
subjects will help our students."
In this regard, she says they offer
guidance and mentorship through
educational support and career
exploration resources to empower
students to navigate their educational
journey and make informed decisions
about their academic and professional
aspirations.

further evident in her extensive
experience as an Advisory Board

exam boards. Her reputation for
leadership and excellence inspires and
empowers educators across the UK.
Saba is a role model for women and
aspiring leaders, demonstrating that

perseverance, talent, and a passion for
making a positive difference in the
world.

Education is no longer clinging to the
traditional methods. It's boldly
stepping into the future, driven by a
powerful force—the evolving needs
and expectations of 21st-century
learners. Here's how this
transformation is taking shape:
Ÿ Personalized Learning: The shift
towards personalized learning
experiences tailored to individual
student needs and preferences is
gaining momentum. Adaptive
learning technologies, data
analytics and artificial intelligence
(AI) enable educators to create
customized learning pathways and
provide targeted support to
students.
Ÿ Blended Learning: Blended
learning models combine
traditional face-to-face instruction
with online platforms and
resources. This approach offers
flexibility and accessibility,
allowing students to learn at their
own pace and engage with content
both in and outside the classroom.
Ÿ EdTech Integration: Educational
technology (EdTech) is
revolutionizing teaching and
learning. VR, AR, gamification, and
mobile learning apps are enhancing
engagement and interactivity,
making learning more immersive
and enjoyable.
Ÿ Focus on Skills Development:
There is a growing emphasis on
equipping students with 21st-
century skills such as critical
thinking, creativity, collaboration,
and communication. Project-based
learning, experiential learning and
interdisciplinary approaches help
develop these essential
competencies.
Ÿ Global and Cultural Awareness:
Education is becoming increasingly
globalized, fostering cultural
awareness and understanding. Cross-
cultural exchange programs,
international collaborations and
multicultural curricula prepare
students to thrive in a diverse and
interconnected world.

fading. Pedagogical approaches are
shifting towards student-centered
learning, where students actively
participate in the learning process
through inquiry, exploration and
collaboration.

AR and VR technologies will
continue to transform education,
enabling immersive simulations,
virtual field trips and interactive
learning experiences.

Education: AI will play an
increasingly significant role in
adaptive learning, personalized
tutoring and data-driven decision-
making to optimize student
outcomes.
Ÿ Lifelong Learning and Continuous
Education: The concept of lifelong
learning will become central, with
educational institutions and
employers embracing continuous
education to adapt to rapid
technological advancements and
changing job markets.
Conclusion
The trends and innovations shaping
education herald a future of dynamic
and inclusive learning experiences.
Looking ahead, the future of learning
holds tremendous potential for
leveraging technologies like AI, AR
and VR to create immersive and
personalized educational experiences.
Leveraging these trends will transform
education into a transformative force
that empowers individuals of all
backgrounds to thrive in the world
before us, by equipping them with the
critical thinking skills to solve complex
problems and the adaptability to
navigate an uncertain future.
